Plaza 25 de Mayo, Central square in Sucre, Bolivia.
Plaza 25 de Mayo features a central statue of Antonio José de Sucre and contains multiple stone fountains arranged along diagonal pathways.
The plaza, originally named Plaza Mayor, witnessed the signing of Bolivia's declaration of independence at Casa de la Libertad in 1825.
The square demonstrates French design influences through its symmetrical layout, decorative elements, and the integration of circular paths around the central monument.
Multiple restaurants, shops, and tourist services occupy the buildings surrounding the plaza, which remains open for visits throughout day and night.
During colonial times, local residents followed a gender-based walking pattern, with women moving clockwise and men counterclockwise around the square.

Bolivia sits in the central Andes, linking mountain ranges, high plateau lands, and lowland rainforests in a landlocked country. The changes in altitude create different climate zones and landscapes, from snow-covered peaks to tropical vegetation. Many visitors start in La Paz, a city that clings to a canyon and where a cable car system moves traffic between neighborhoods. The colonial capital of Sucre preserves its white facades and courtyards from the 1600s, while Potosí sits at the foot of Cerro Rico, a mountain that saw centuries of silver mining. The natural sites range from Lake Titicaca on the Peruvian border to the Salar de Uyuni, an expansive salt flat that turns into a shallow mirror during the rainy season. Madidi National Park protects rainforest in the north, while the Eduardo Avaroa Reserve in the south shows colored lagoons and desert formations. The Tiwanaku archaeological site holds evidence of pre-Columbian civilizations, and the Jesuit Missions of Chiquitos are wooden churches that survive in remote towns. The Valley of the Moon near La Paz forms eroded rocks that resemble lunar landscapes, and Torotoro National Park contains fossils and dinosaur tracks. The journey from La Paz to Coroico passes along the Death Road, a narrow mountain route that descends into the Yungas lowlands.
